Kangerlussuaq is a settlement in western Greenland and is famous for having Greenland’s largest commercial airport.
Back in 2008 I was lucky enough to spend one day there.. and here is my experience:
As soon I arrived at the airport I looked for a taxi to take us to our hotel. But of course there weren’t any taxis.
So I did what any other lost tourist does: got into the first queue I saw.
Luckily at the end of the queue I found a very helpful person who checked us in at the hotel (which was at the airport) and also showed us where we could rent bikes to explore the area.

It was around 50 euros to rent the bike for the day. Really expensive but totally worth it.
The plan was simple: Head north and explore as much as we could.
